Method

  • step 1

    Put the mushrooms, mustard, garlic and vegetable stock into a frying pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins or until the stock has nearly all evaporated and the mushrooms are soft.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Drain and toss with the mushrooms, parsley and lemon zest. Season to taste and serve straightaway.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKING IT CREAMY

Stir 100g ricotta or quark (a low-fat cheese made without rennet) into the pasta along with the cooked mushrooms.

MAKING WITH AUBERGINES

Replace the mushrooms with 1 thickly sliced aubergine and increase the stock to 300ml/½pt. Simmer with the remaining ingredients until the aubergine is soft and the stock nearly reduced away, then toss into the penne.

I loved this, thought it was delicious and so full of flavour. I added feta at the end as this was what I had in the fridge and I used dijon because I love it.

Made a few tweaks after reading comments...added pancetta and crème fraiche, Dijon mustard instead of wholegrain and left out the lemon. Great dish will make again......added parsley and plenty of parmesan.

I made the original version of this recipe and followed it exactly. Whilst the chunks of portobello mushrooms are delicious with penne, I've got to agree with lots of other commenters here and say there is quite a strange combo of flavours going on. Mustard and lemon just didn't feel harmonious to…
